While not required, this is a useful patch and I'll probably get it
added for the 11.05 release.

You don't need this patch for what needs to be changed to the hwpack.
I may add this one for the 11.05 release, but it is not required when
u-boot passes the .dtb image.

Everything you need should be in the current Linaro kernel and u-boot
trees.  I'm also working on verifying that now for Panda, and I'll
post updates if I find missing bits.
